This poll doesn't speak much for the longevity/range of the band...

(as much as I love them)

I've voted for their debut album. It's one of my favorite albums.

I also love Moonmadness and Mirage but they got plenty of votes already LOL, so I chose the underdog.

hmmm not sure about that
 
ELP had a similar poll and hardly anything beyond Brain Salad Surgery got a vote.
 
There are good sprinkling of votes for later albums such as Stationery Traveller and Rajaz but understandably the bulk of votes are going to their 'classic' albums.
Anyway I'm impressed enough to now have Rajaz on order. Quite curious about that one.

I like Snow Goose as a complete work but have to go with the exemplary performance on A Live Record which is a great one stop shop for a great spread of Camel music. Of the studio albums Snow Goose seems obvious (although the bonus tracks on CD 1 of the reissue mess up the album picture. They could have thrown them on CD 2 with all the other material.

Funny thing about perceptions - some comments regarding how wonderful Breathless is, yet I thought it was a tad poor. (Actually I hated the thing). Oh well.

But Camel in concert is awesome. The Gods Of Light (Greasy Truckers gig) early version of Snow Goose is much more raw and heavy.

But I think I'll vote for See Your House just for Ice - very much my sort of thing!

Moonmadness is my favourite, but the first four albums are all excellent.
